eWallet 8.4 for Windows PC (desktop) now available

We are very pleased to announce that eWallet® 8.4 for Windows PC (desktop) is now available. This new version includes the following improvements:

AutoPass now supports the Microsoft Edge browser

eWallet now launches newer versions of Firefox using the new registration method

We updated the AutoPass extension for Firefox (packaged and delivered separately) for Mozilla’s completely new extension system

Updated the Dropbox library code used by SyncPro®

Now include an alternative login method for Dropbox for cloud sync

Updated link color on cards with very dark background

If Microsoft’s .NET 4 is not installed, eWallet will offer to install .NET 4.7

Updated installer for high resolution screens

Several other miscellaneous fixes and enhancements

As you can see from the list of features, AutoPass got a lot of attention in this release, including support for the Microsoft Edge browser. Although we received lots of requests to support Edge, it wasn’t possible initially as the browser itself didn’t support any kind of extensions. Fortunately Microsoft changed that and were very helpful in getting our new extension through the approval process.

Mozilla also changed how Firefox registered itself with Windows and switched to a new system for their extensions and eWallet (and the companion AutoPass extension for Firefox) have been updated to fully support the changes. Stay tuned for more updates to all of the AutoPass extensions (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari).

The release has several other improvements too, almost all of them based on user requests and feedback. Please keep the feedback coming and contact us any time you like.
